Early entrants have brought a very tropical feel to a North Pole-like Seattle. The flamingo lighting display was put together by Deborah Marlott at 8737 Greenwood Ave. The tropical oasis was submitted by Karl Picard at 6819 Phinney Ave.

This year, winners will be selected in two categories – one for houses, townhomes, condos and apartments; the other for businesses.

To enter, just spruce up your lighting display and shoot an e-mail to wacktasticlightshow@gmail.com with your name and address. The top two “most wacktastic” displays will be selected by local celebrity judges Robynne Raye of Modern Dog Design and Michael Cross of Cross Films, who recently partnered with Cooper the Photographer Cat to give us a unique insight into the feline life.

In addition, the top 10 lighting displays will be chosen by a popular vote. Voting is open from December 10-17, so make sure you support your favorite lighting display and help choose the winners.

And to the victors go the spoils – gift certificates to local businesses including Gainsbourg, Greenwood Academy of Hair, Insurrection Vintage Clothing, and Prost, as well as tickets to the Pacific Northwest Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker.
